i shall first spend a moment to relish in the cinematic orchestra's lyrics. i like their new album.

Every soul comes to the sun
Carried on angel’s wings to human birth
Born of love or born of hate
Each one is heaven sent to human fate

In joy and pain each one will grow
For wisdom is so much more than what we know
And every child will find their way
Of living the whole life story day by day

Dream
Little girl, dream
Dream
Little boy, dream
Dream

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me

Cause, I built a home
for you
for me

Until it disappeared
from me
from you

And now, it's time to leave
And turn to dust.

yes and every time i hear 'the storm' i think of ms tang.

. . .

many events recently. had a most exciting and certainly memorable inter-schs last week. at the end of it i think there are only many lessons that can be drawn from it. i certainly hope that mike and lionel do at least. and i hope there's no bad feelings in the end.

and i hope my best friend is alright. cheerios mate. 'get used to it' lol.

i mean no offence to the vj sailors. you won it fair and square. just that the ac guys have every right to feel upset and hurt to win the race on the water and lose it on land. there's this paul elvstrom line that i quoted to a few of them friday night.

You haven't won the race, if in winning the race, you have lost the respect of your competitors.

fight as hard as you want on the water, but be best of pals back on shore.

in any case the night was very fun. i will remember sitting in the back of melissa's car furiously scribbling cards for 50-odd sailors, laughing at mike's 10 ways to pick up chicks, bose's distasteful messages, ribbing greg about zhaoey.

i will remember having them over at my place overnight. having greg and kwong totally walk in on me when i was showering cuz i'm not used to locking the door at home. wahahaha.

walking out in the rain with my raincoat and headphones. letting the thoughts just flow and ebb around me. splash splash splash.

i've had a good time.

. . .

according to the worlds website, maxi finished 27 places and a whopping 60 points adrift of qualifying. while vic finished 18 places and 64 points off. although she's impressed me getting into gold fleet. roy and pei ming have good prospects though.

jiayou.

interesting to see that the top 14 sailors in the radial are all of different nationalities. belarus! finland! mexico! israel! amazing.
